I'm your host, James Canole, and this is the podcast dedicated to helping you retire well.

It all starts right here on Ready for Retirement. for retirement.

Hi, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Ready for Retirement.

I'm your host, James Cannell.

On today's episode, we're going to be talking about what investments you should be owning within your retirement portfolio because you've probably

heard me and you've probably heard many people talk about large cap and small cap and international

and domestic and bonds and stocks and real estate. And at some point, you want to know what does all

that actually mean? I get conceptually there are different types of investments, but what types

of investments are they really? And how do each of these investments

play with one another or interact with one another? And that's what we're going to discuss on

today's episode. In today's episode was brought to me by a listener named Craig. And Craig said

this. He said, hi, James, I'm 59 and a half years old. I had a major surgery this past June of

2022, which got me thinking about retirement.

I found your podcast on Spotify and started listening to them from the beginning, and wow,

they are very informative. Easy to follow information that gave me comfort regarding my

retirement planning, so thank you. I have a good general knowledge of stock types, but I was wondering

if you would give us a basic education on the different types of stocks and funds, i.e. mid cap, small cap, large cap, growth, value,

dividend, blue chip, et cetera. Your education is helping a lot of us understand how to live well.

Thank you, Craig. All right. Well, thank you, Craig, for that question. I hope the surgery went well, and I'm glad to hear that you found the podcast,

and then it has been helpful.

And this would be a wonderful thing to talk about, so we'll do just that on today's episode.
